Project Sora, the company that developed Kid Icarus: Uprising, has sadly decided to close its doors. Project Sora has left a message on their website stating that the studio is closed as of June 30th, and that the website will close on July 31st. The company was started by Masahiro Sakurai in 2009 with investments from Nintendo and Sakurai’s Sora studio, among others. Kid Icarus: Uprising debuted this past March and was the only game that the company produced. Sakurai is now the director of the 3DS and Wii U versions of the Smash Bros. series.
About Marisa Sundell
Now before the Wii fanboys go crazy this is not a diss. I’m not calling the Wii crap, but it is inferior to the other next-gen consoles based on hardware specs alone. I just think it is amazing how Nintendo is able to do so well year after year with what hardcore gamers consider to be gimmicks. I respect Nintendo for being masters at marketing their product year after year with a very high level of success. How are they able to do it in your opinion?
Your Truth you are exactly right, but I am not thinking in terms of graphics alone. There are many hardcore Nintendo fans (myself included) that are not happy with the lack of games for the true Nintendo fan base. Nintendo has taped into the casual gamer market, but in turn has alienated the hardcore base to a certain extent. I understand their strategy though…..get money. I can’t knock that.
I love Mario more than anything nintendo made. But Kid Icarus Uprising sounds cool because of Multiplayer. The music in Mario 3D Land is really cool, and I have not played a new Mario game ever since Galaxy 2. But Kid Icarus is something completely new to me.
So what do you guys think I should get? Mario 3D land is too good? Or wait for Kid Icarus Uprising?
Me and my so called “friend” are at borderlines. He is very annoying while we play an online video game, whether it be CoD or Super Smash Bros Brawl. He has mini temper tantrums and is really a sore loser at times, that he’s too old for. While we play SSBB, he gets very angry everytime I beat him, he resorts to stealing my wins by rage quitting or going around telling people he is better than me and that I rage quit, he lies and says he doesn’t rage quit. but when I seen my best friend in a 1 on 1 match against him, he rage quitted in the beginning when my best friend killed him.
I find it very hard to ignore, even when I told him SSBB advanced techniques he still doesn’t know how to use and didn’t even know what spamming was until I told him, he used to think it was a strategy, WTF? It even gets to the point where he calls me names (lol) and deletes me off his roster, and tries to apologize afterwards, same with CoD.
He takes his games VERY seriously, and when he doesn’t win he makes lousy excuses. He also lies a lot, too much for me2 trust him. Like saying, “My girlfriends hotter than Megan Fox!” or “Dude, I just had a flashback about brawl dude, that’s why i used to lose so much man.” I even tested to see if he was lying by posing as one of his online friends and brawling him using Peach, he used Link. He didn’t even kill me once and he got on the phone and told me he won every match.
WTF? are you serious? Stop lying so friggin much! Your girlfriends not even as hot as a walrus in daisy dukes (no offense). He also over exaggerates and overeacts, like when a friend of mine pretended he was going to punch him in his knackers, he fell over and started yelling and screaming an saying, “Dude, owowowow, ohhhhh, my balls!” Again, another WTF? moment. he also thinks that he is popular in school by cussing and hanging out with the cool group, not knowing that they were just making fun of him, and the saddest part was, he didn’t know who Adolf hitler was or Masahiro Sakurai was, since he is such a big nintendo nerd. WTF? three WTF moments in one day.

A claimant wins a closed period of disability on appeal to an administrative law judge. Claimant requested this closed period because he had begun substantial gainful activity.
In the initial decision, the ALJ states: “The consequences of requesting a closed period and ceasing disability were fully explained to the claimant.”
What are those consequences?
Yoshi OnoChin ,Katsuhiro Harada & Masahiro Sakurai. Can anyone help me? It can be any kind of contact =)
I applied for my canadian citizenship in Vancouver in March, 2009 and I got my book. However, I still haven’t receive any notice about when my citizenship exam is. I am planning for a long vacation in May and June and I am really scared I am going to miss the exam and have to reapply again. So, my questions are: is there a summer period when the citizenship and immigration office is closed? If I miss my exam, do I have to reapply again? Thank you very much.
Im filming a very low budgeted movie (around $5,000) for the Appalachian Film Festival in April 2011. I have a scene that requires a street to be closed down. Ive looked into just doing it while the streets open, but I really need to close it. I also would ike to use the local Poilce, fire, and ambulance for like 10 minutes if there’s a way to get the there too. Any ideas on how to do that and get a street closed for a couple hours?
Satoshi Tajiri (inventor of Pokemon), Masahiro Sakurai (SSBB, Kirby), Toyota and Honda for example.
Who makes the main idea of a video game?
Example: Hideo Kojima, Shigesato Itoi, Shigeru Miyamoto, Masahiro Sakurai
You get the picture. What jobs do they have?
Isn’t a video game designer a certain group of job?
So I was reading about a new Super Smash Bros game and somebody pointed me towards this interview with the creator, and I can’t tell if it’s real or not! Do you know?
Masahiro Sakurai interview
First let me explain. I was visiting Japan with my mother when we went to MOS burger when I saw him sitting there so I went over and got to interview him.
Me: First off Mr. Sakurai, It’s really an honor to get to be here and interview a video game legend.
Sakurai: It is very fine. I am very happy to get the opportunity to speak with you.
Me: So, I’m sure you are aware of the success of your Super Smash Brothers Brawl series which was released over a year ago.
Sakurai: Yes, I am very proud for my game.
Me: You surprised a lot of people by using a few third party characters in the game, even though the original idea was to just use Nintendo characters.
Sakurai: We decided to use third party character in game because we wanted to add a more well rounded character list. We wanted people who were very interested into Metal Gear and Sonic to be able to widen their video game range and try out Nintendo.
Me: I see. So do you have any regrets of characters?
Sakurai: What do you mean?
Me: I mean, are there any characters you regret adding to the game?
Sakurai: Actually, yes, I am surprised you ask that. King Dedede was a major regret, and we later decided that he was very unpopular among fans. We also decided that Sheik was far less popular, and we wish we would have given Zelda new down smash instead of adding a counterpart to her.
Me: So, are there any characters you really like?
Sakurai: (laughs) Yes, yes indeed. Well, there is of course Mario, can’t forget him, and I really did like Lucas’s play style.
Me: I’m sure you can’t really talk about this, but is there going to be a 4th game?
Sakurai: Quite lucky for you, I am being able to tell you. The original idea did get scrapped, but we have new plans to continue the game. We’re going to re-release Brawl, but this time it is going to come with downloadable content. It will contain everything from the first one, but you purchase new characters and stages online for your file on Wii.
Me: Won’t that be a little confusing? How will people know the difference between the old one and new one unless you revamp the cover and everything?
Sakurai: Well, what we are to do is place a yellow sticker on the cover. It will explain all.
Me: Can you tell me one or two downloadable characters that will be added?
Sakurai: I shouldn’t, (laughs) but I will. We’re making Dixie Kong a new character, as well as the cool Panther Carosa from the Star Fox series. There is also a very popular character form Melee that was replaced by a similar character in Brawl, that we are going to make purchasable.
Me: Wow! How much will these cost?
Sakurai: I cannot make certain any price, but I can tell you that it is estimated at about fifteen U.S. dollar.
Me: That’s incredible! I’m very excited.
Sakurai: So am I, and I hope you had good interview.
Me: That’s it?
Sakurai: (sighs) I am afraid so. I have to be at meeting very shortly.
Me: Ok, thank you Mr. Sakurai, It has been a pleasure!
Sakurai: Thank you as well.
